Diabetic foot is one of the most severe complications of Diabetes Mellitus (DM) and the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation of the lower limbs, with an estimated one million people with DM undergoing radical treatment each year as a result of this condition. Despite the existence of national and international guidelines on diabetic foot management, in some aspects of managementthe recommendations given are not supported by a strong body of evidence. This can be a potential source of uncertainty in decision-making, but also a starting point for clarification of aspects related to diabetic foot management in Italian practice. The objective of this document is, therefore, to recalibrate the international recommendations on diabetic foot management in the light of the opinions of Italian experts.
